Link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/05/08/1329...

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is aggressively promoting a future where AI becomes
the dominant form of social interaction, claiming that AI friends,
therapists, and business agents will soon outnumber human relationships.
During a recent media blitz across multiple podcasts and a Stripe conference
appearance, Zuckerberg cited statistics suggesting "the average American has
fewer than three friends" while claiming people desire "meaningfully more,
like 15 friends" -- positioning AI companions as the solution to this gap.
The Meta founder's vision extends beyond casual interaction to therapeutic
and commercial relationships, with personalized AI that "has a deep
understanding of what's going on in this person's life." Meta has already
deployed its AI across Instagram, Facebook, and Ray-Ban smart glasses,
reaching nearly a billion monthly users.
